How we work on site

A facade is only as good as the layer behind the one you can see. So nothing gets closed in until it's been checked.

Aluminium rails, insulation and red cavity barriers on a tower, checked before the panels go on
  1. Drawings and quantities

    You send the elevations, sections, system details and the bill of quantities. We price the labour for the package, or for one system within it.

  2. RAMS before we start

    Every project gets its own risk assessment and method statement, written for that building, that access and that system.

  3. Toolbox talks and daily checks

    The day starts with a toolbox talk and the work area is inspected daily: access, edges, fixings, housekeeping.

  4. Quality checked stage by stage

    Each layer is inspected before the next one closes it in: rails and brackets, insulation and cavity barriers, then panels and joints.

  5. Handover and 12 months

    We hand over clean elevations and stand behind our workmanship for 12 months after practical completion.

Quality, layer by layer

What gets checked before it's covered

On a rainscreen facade the cavity barriers, the insulation and the rails disappear behind the panels. That's why we check them while they can still be seen.

Stage inspections
StageWhat we check
Rails and bracketsLine, level and fixings checked before insulation goes behind them.
Insulation and cavity barriersCoverage, joints and barrier positions checked against the drawings before panels close them in.
Panels and jointsJoint widths, alignment across the elevation and fixings checked panel by panel.
InterfacesEPDM, closures and flashings at windows, slabs and curtain walling checked before the scaffold or MEWP moves on.

The team on a package

Sized to the job, led from the front

We put each team together around the package and the programme. Every package has three roles covered: a project manager who deals with the main contractor and the programme, a site manager who runs the gang, the RAMS and the daily checks, and quality assurance on each stage before it's closed in.

About the company

Send the drawings. We'll price the package.

Elevations, sections, system details, the bill of quantities and the programme: whatever you have. We price the labour by tender, for the whole envelope or for one system.
